PRIVELEGED INFORMATION

Peter Dan | Los Angeles | 07/12/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Let me say first that I directed this film for television so obviously I am biased. But I love this film and what it has to say. It is a very tough minded work and the performances by Dabney Coleman, Peter Coyote and Liam Neeson are first rate. (Coleman won an Emmy for this role). I would hope people respond to the courageous, principled position that the lawyers stick to. Their holding to the principle of law in the face of harsh criticism from the community is heroic. This film was based on the book, "Priveleged Information" by Frank Armani. This was a true case.Peter"
